Abstract excerpt

Identifying overarching processes that maintain biodiversity in natural communities remains a challenge in ecology. Although functional traits help explain regional species distributions, they often fall short at the local community level. We investigate whether traits can offer mechanism-based insights into local diversity maintenance due to associations with the sign and strength of plant interactions. We...
